There has been much speculation over who is financing the disparate protest, which has spread to cities across America and lasted nearly four weeks. One name that keeps coming up is investor George Soros, who in September debuted in the top 10 list of wealthiest Americans. Conservative critics contend the movement is a Trojan horse for a secret Soros agenda.
Soros and the protesters deny any connection. But Reuters did find indirect financial links between Soros and Adbusters, an anti-capitalist group in Canada which started the protests with an inventive marketing campaign aimed at sparking an Arab Spring type uprising against Wall Street. Moreover, Soros and the protesters share some ideological ground.
Pressed further for his views on the movement and the protesters, Soros refused to be drawn in. But conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh summed up the speculation when he told his listeners last week, "George Soros money is behind this."

Never in my wildest dreams did I think that one Nazi piece of filth could bring down the eoncomies of every country on the planet including America. That pile of filth pulled it off. The son of b*tch! May he forever burn in hell for what he has done to humanity. He makes uncle Adolf look like an amatuer.

When I was a kid they had ‘Hands Across America.” The media made a big deal about it. The liberals loved the idea. Years later a lot of people remember it, and absolutely nothing was accomplished. Occupy Wall Street is a lot like that. Years later people will remember it, but it will accomplish nothing.
